Dinosaur Stomping Grounds Trailhead

Incredible experience! You can get up close to real dinosaur bones. The trail was not hard although it can be a challenge for some. The trail goes uphill and you will be stepping on large rocks. The great thing about this trail is all the bones are marked with a plaque. Look for the discolored difference in the rock layers to spot the bones. Park at the top and walk to the trail. There will be a... Incredible experience! You can get up close to real dinosaur bones. The trail was not hard although it can be a challenge for some. The trail goes uphill and you will be stepping on large rocks. The great thing about this trail is all the bones are marked with a plaque. Look for the discolored difference in the rock layers to spot the bones. Park at the top and walk to the trail. There will be a sign at the entrance of the road that warns of driving down the street on the sand and suggests riding down on a 4x4. If you are driving with a camper, park at the sign and walk down to the trail. It’s about 1 mile. This is an educational and entertaining experience for all history and dinosaur enthusiasts. No entry fee to enter the park. There is a campground on site with a restroom for $20 per night. It’s a self serve station.

This outdoor museum was pretty neat. I had never seen fossilized dino bones out in the wild before. It's cool to know what to look for. I was mistakingly under the impression that the preserved tracks would be in the same area. My only complaint is that the different locations should have better signs. It just says "Dinosaur Trail."

My only complaint is that the different locations should have better signs. It just says "Dinosaur Trail." Unless you have 4WD, you will need to park your car at the designated lot and walk to the exhibit. The sand on the road can get pretty deep. It was a really hot day so getting to the Bone Trail was somewhat difficult and tedious. Be sure to carry your water and SPF with you. It took us almost 20 minutes to trudge through the sand, another 30 minutes to go through the exhibit, and 20 minutes to walk back to the car. We followed up with the dino tracks after
